Hi and welcome to my channel @DarrenJohnsonRail DJR. My name is Darren and have been a rail enthusiast since I can remember. My main goal of this channel is to capture the UK rail scene in all its glory, mainly covering the South West of England, for future generations to look back on and enjoy. I will try and upload videos twice a week, Tuesdays and Sundays, content permitting and a few short format videos in-between. I hope that you enjoy the journey! Sit back and enjoy all the action with Darren Johnson Rail DJR.

Hello everyone hope you are well 👍 Just to say that my latest video will be out on Tuesday around 17:00 focusing on the railtours around the Taunton area along with a quick visit to the WSR. I have had a fantastic few days out filming, all over the place to be honest, more on this soon! A big thanks to MJDS Photography for helping plan the logistics of the road trips a great help. Again as always thanks to everyone that spent the time to say hello 👋 See you all about soon Darren DJR

Hello everyone 👋 yesterday was a manic one with over 350 miles of driving to capture three railtours, a 56 convy plus a host of other goodies! The day started at West Byfleet to capture Clan Line, then over to Castle Bar Park where we see Western Champion & 37240. We jump back in the car to head swiftly over to Theale Crossing to capture the Western at speed. A few miles later we are at Danzey this time we see 50049, 20205 and 31128, we catch this again on the return trip at Earlswood later in the day. A sad sight at King's Sutton as we see a 56 convoy the last UK trip for the ghost 👻 56's! Later back on home soil at Mottisfont & Dunbridge we see the 56's return without the ghosts..... A very good day seeing some classic traction on the mainline once again. The video will be out later today around 16:30 so keep an eye out...... Hope to see you all about soon Darren DJR 😀
